About the role

Internship in Meta Reality Labs Research Audio focusing on modeling listening and communication from multimodal wearable data to infer states like auditory attention and listening effort, with projects tailored to applicant skills.

Responsibilities

  • Develop novel machine learning and statistical models that infer listening and communication behavior from multimodal wearable data (e.g., gaze, head movement, vocal cues, turn-taking dynamics) with applications to hearing assistance.
  • Relate model outputs to established hearing science measures, such as speech intelligibility, listening effort, and self-reported communication difficulty, to validate what the models capture.
  • Design data collection strategies, benchmarks, and metrics for models trained on limited or ambiguous ground truth, including data from listeners with and without hearing loss.
  • Design, run, and analyze human subjects experiments in laboratory and naturalistic listening environments.
  • Collaborate with researchers and engineers across hearing science, audio signal processing, machine learning, and perception science.
  • Communicate the research agenda, progress, and full analyses of results.

Qualifications

  • Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining, a PhD in machine learning, computer science, hearing science, or auditory or cognitive neuroscience, or a related field
  • 2+ years of experience with Python or a similar language for data analysis and modeling
  • 2+ years of experience in statistical modeling and/or machine learning at the doctoral level, including time-series or sequential data
  • Research experience with one or more of the following: multimodal behavioral data (e.g., eye tracking, motion, physiological, or speech signals), speech perception, auditory attention, or conversational communication
  • Must obtain work authorization in the country of employment at the time of hire, and maintain ongoing work authorization during employment
